We got some shelving and other odds and ends and used the building for some training. Anyway, when it first shut down there were a bunch of old desk top towers just laying around, never thought much about them before. Went back today and only found one left but there are a bunch of monitors which im going to collect for copper. Live and learn.
    Most people don't know about the gold in computers an it was something people did not go around telling for a wile. Reason being they did not want others to know what was going on in the back ground an why people wanted them. So they where able to charge to remove them an then take them apart an harvest the gold an other metals from them. Now there are a good bit of people who KNOW about it an the word is getting out there an that is part why computers are becoming hard to come by but at the same time there is more of it out there...just have to dig for it.
